BENEFITS

Manage high-risk credentialing in a way that protects patients and the hospital

Our credentialing process has significantly improved since we started sending our credentialing committee members to Greeley seminars. Our credentialing committee is able to apply principled decisions to the credentialing process. They recognize when they have deviated from a principled credentialing process and are able to perform an analysis of the problem to determine an appropriate solution and apply it.—Anonymous General Counsel from a 300-bed hospital in Maryland

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

Formulate options for how to credential and privilege low- and no-volume practitioners

Set up effective strategies for minimizing the risk of negligent credentialing lawsuits

Great information on physician leadership; well organized and developed for
people of all backgrounds and job involvement. Great idea for interaction between
physicians and administration. I have learned much more about privileging and
confirming credentials, and have developed a new appreciation for the process of
requests for new and renewal of privileges.—John Blevins, MD, Midland Memorial Hospital, Midland, TX
